Here in 2020, it seems like any time since March of 2020 (about 5 months ago in reality), seems like a literal eternity. Going back beyond that, like 16 years back, for an 80s kid that will always be a kid at heart, is a bit overwhelming to process. With practically no events, shows, or things to do, I’ve recently started getting nostalgic for the old PhillyClassic video game expos that used to take place at (what once was) the Valley Forge Expo Center, now Valley Forge Casino Event Center.

Two events this weekend I figured I’d share: The White Rose GameRoom Show and ERRF 2019:
White Rose GameRoom Show – York PA
The White Rose GameRoom show is a large pinball/arcade gaming event happening this weekend in York, PA. Buy/Sell/Trade/Play video games, pinball machines, parts, and everything in-between!

ERRF 2019 – Bell Air, Maryland
Saw this mentioned at the Philly Maker Faire this weekend and figured I’d share. There is a large 3D Printing event happening in Bel Air Maryland this weekend. Bel Air is ~2 hours from Philly so definitely a drive able distance.

Arcade Monitor Repair Party – November 2010
Life has a funny way of flying by when you’re having fun. I was digging through some old stuff and found these pics of an arcade monitor repair party I hosted back in 2010. Basically invited a few peeps from KLOV to come learn how to cap and repair arcade game monitors.
One guy even brought an entire game (Donkey Kong Jr), which turned out to be a great example, as we really went through it soup to nuts and did a bunch of small things to bring a basket case completely back to life!
I wish I could do these again…maybe some day. Anyway, enjoy some pics! PS – big thanks to my buddy Todd who always seems to go along with my crazy plans 😉
The arcade page is back!
This post is just a placeholder for future things to come; stay tuned!
